Well here's Martha Stewart (yes, that Martha Stewart) posing with a cow in her modeling days.  I imagine it could be for a music band--or at least for an album cover. x-D

showing good taste, as always!

 

Here's another classic, celebrating the idyllic sense at the heart of Americana:

 

 

This was an inspiration for so many songwriters!

 

 

Not a dry eye in the house.

Milk Cow Blues: a classic!

 

A little background: "Milk Cow Blues" is a blues song written and originally recorded by Kokomo Arnold in September 1934. In 1935 and 1936, he recorded four sequels designated "Milk Cow Blues No. 2" through No. 5. The song made Arnold a star, and was widely adapted by artists in the blues, Western swing and rock idioms.

The version Willie covers begins at 3:15:

 

 

 When Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys cover it in 1946, it's gone through a musical makeover:

 

 

Elvis covered it as "Milkcow Blues Boogie" in '55. It is full tilt rockabilly.

Holy cow!  The tune was pretty good, but I was not expecting the cartoon soft-core porn.  The world is a strange place that someone would spend that much time animating such a thing as this.  What audience would it be aimed at? O.o

 

According to  the website, the song itself (sans video) charted well in Switzerland and South Africa and was also relatively successful in wider release (Europe and Japan). As for the video:

 

"THE INFAMOUS MUH! VIDEO CLIP

YouTube banned it from my own channel because of its “pornographic” content. Funny that it’s still readily available on other YouTube channels. Actually it’s pretty harmless, unless you are very prudish.

The video was created by a student of a German Film Academy as his graduate work. We only found out later about it and we didn’t have any influence on the content of the clip. So don’t blame us!"

 

I see it as cheerful nihilism. YMMV.  ?
